CFC Elimination in Chillers

Power Mechanical is focused on replacing ozone depleting CFCs.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) can cause damage to the Earth's protective ozone layer when released. These chemicals are most often used as refrigerants in industrial chillers and air conditioners.

We are taking a top down approach to reducing the amount of CFCs in use. Starting with refrigerant R-11 (100% ozone depletion potential) and ending with R-22 (5% ozone depletion potential), we are converting chillers to use environmentally friendly refrigerants.

​We have successfully eliminated 100% of our R-11 and R-12 usage and are now in the process of developing retrofits for R-22 and R-134a chillers. These retrofits will be available on all of our used chillers in 2017. Our goal is to offer a high performance, comprehensive environmental solution for chiller users all over the world.
